Hi,
I'm trying to recover from adrenal fatigue and hormonal imbalances right now and was given a progesterone "oil blend" today by my doctor. I havent had a menstrual period since June 2014, which im assuming is caused by stress, estrogen dominance, and low progesterone/ pregnenolone steal.
I have very low energy throughout the day and my progesterone was low on my saliva test.
So, to help supplement the much needed progesterone and induce a period, im starting progesterone. My doctor (who is a chiropractor) doesnt seem to understand how to administer this sort of hormone, and her directions dont make sense.
I was told to take 2 drops, 2x day, once at breakfast, once before sleep, every day until a period is induced.then, im supposed to take it "as directed" on the box, which just says "apply 2 to 5 drops, repeat procedure twice daily from mid-cycle to menstrual flow".
I am concerned because i thought that you are only supposed to be on progesterone supplements for 10 to 14 days. however, if ive been deficient in it for so long, does this change how it is supposed to be taken?
also, for anyone with AF who has used progesterone, does it make you wired and increase your cortisol before bed? i already have insomnia and want to avoid any more cortisol surges.
im not getting much help from her, so im hoping someone can help me please and lend some advice.

This is a reply to # 2,247,333Hi, can't address your question directly, but whatever you do I would research and cut back on high estrogen foods and introduce more high progesterone foods--organic. Low and slow -- the natural way. Progesterone is turned into cortisol when you are stressed and is probably not a source for your insomnia, so I would look into what the high cortisol is trying to balance or tamp down...there are other stress hormones, too, that could be keeping you awake.- Re: Help with Progesterone Usage earthlove

hi, thanks for your help.
i have greatly reduced my mental/emotional stress in the past few months, im on herbs that balance my ciradian rhythym, and i still have all the same symptoms of low progesterone. i cannot figure out the underlying cause of stress, but i wonder if the natural recovery from AF will eventually lead to a balancing of hormones on its own. in other words, i wonder whether if its the right thing to do to take bioidentical hormones or just to let my body produce its own hormones naturally as it recovers?

This is a reply to # 2,247,775Yes, isolate stressors and causes of inflammation, and let the body recover / rebalance naturally. Too many people turning their bodies into chemlabs...causing more stress, and more to rebalance.

This is a reply to # 2,247,333Those instructions sound reasonable assuming the progesterone was quite low--at the right time of the month. A close friend did something similar during her peri years.
For sleep don't forget melatonin and theanine, etc
pregnenolone is another to consider.- Re: Help with Progesterone Usage earthlove

hi steve, thanks for your help.
my concern is that the dosage is not even enough to reverse the high ratio of estrogen to progesterone, and that without proper dosage of progesterone, my efforts will be pointless.
do you know whether your friend was started on a high dosage of progesterone and for how long she had to take it? thanks!

This is a reply to # 2,247,779I think 50mg 2x/day of prog cream for a year or so prior to starting preg 12mg x2 oral.
I think she still takes half the amount of prog cream, maybe 4 yrs later.
Followup tests indicated she needed some hydrocortisone 5-7mg daily since she gained weight around the middle on 12mg
Pregn seems to be the key for her--65mg now. Turns on her brain along with Gaba/glutamine, esp in stressful situations. However it seems she has more secondary AI/AF.

This is a reply to # 2,247,333My experience is with micronized bioidentical progesterone. Its in a compounded cream form and is used from day 10-24....so 14 days is you still have a cycle. Post menopausal women use it daily.
Not sure what is in your oil but progesterone is from yams and micronized used topically or oral in capsule form is the best absorbed option. Maybe best to see a Doctor that specializes in BHRT- Bioidentical hormones.
